This would merge all the latest work done on main onto dev as part of the process.

See #273

josuah commented 1 year ago

This might still need some work, but initial results are there.

The font drawing appears to be correct: the glyphs are aligned horizontally, with a reasonable space between them, with the correct font, but the display is not behaving as I'd expect it to be.

Maybe some wrong parameter given to the FPGA?

The way to test is to first generate a font.bin:

$ cd monocle-micropython/tools
$ python3 fontgen.py ShareTechMonoBitmap-Regular-64.bdf selection.txt ShareTechMonoBitmap-Regular-64.bin

ShareTechMonoBitmap-Regular-64.zip selection.txt

Then upload SharedTechMonoBitmap-Regular-64.bin as font.bin, and run this on the Monocle:

from font import *
from display import *
from text import *

font = Font("font.bin")
text = Text("abcd", font, 0xffffffff)
show_sprites(text.to_sprites())
